Growth of complex oxide single crystals with high melting point over 2200 °C using tungsten crucible

Abstract Complex oxide single crystals with melting points (MPs) above 2200 °C cannot be grown from the melt using iridium (Ir) or platinum (Pt) crucibles due to the MP limitations of these materials. To overcome this, we focused on the tungsten (W) crucibles, with MP above 3400 °C. The micro-pullin...
